10 Amazing Old Minecraft Mods You Forgot About 

it feels so good to be back to the regularly scheduled nostalgia! which from this list was your favorite? what other mods can you think of?

It's not that the guy hates wolves, it was just Minecraft had unlimited potential at the time, and the community had a ton of suggestions of what to add. And Notch was just like, ta-da wolves! So that guy did what Notch couldn't.

Hey! I'm the More Creeps and Weirdos project director / lead programmer. Thank you for shouting us out! Freakstritch is also sticking around for the possibility for a 1.20 version of the mod. But our current focus is fleshing out 1.12.2 before porting once again. Currently working on the next update ;)

For some reason by watching this video i was reminded of the Clay Soldiers Mod. I spend so many hours just building arenas and watch them fight each other

Here are 2 obscure mods that I remember: Spider Queen mod: It would transform the lower half of your player model into a spider. You could place down webs and cocoon hostile mobs, and then the cocoons would hatch with a different spider depending on the mob you cocooned. Boss Scroll mod(?): I don't remember the name of this one but it added a whole bunch of scrolls that would summon bosses that you could fight. One was a big green spider that put webs everywhere, and another was a blue(?) magma cube. I don't really remember much about this mod but I remember messing around with it after watching a DanTDM video.

We need more mods similar to Creep n Weirdos, it's good when a developer goes full goblin mode when creating a mod

Nice video! I'm actually the son of the guy who made the Shape Shifter Z mod (zacuke). Its nice to see that the mod has been remembered lol. The mod was actually updated for 1.7 and was called Shape Shifter X, but it was never fully finished. Once Mojang got bought by Microsoft they changed a bunch of stuff with the code and the eula which mixed with just having a busy life my dad stopped updating the mod.

oh my gosh i remember creeps and weirdos and the zeppelin mod... that's some really good nostalgia, and i totally experienced some of that era of modding. been into mc since 2010

"The moon is officially canceled" got me pretty good

MoCreatures will always have a special place in my heart, it was the first mod I ever used and I remember hours spent building huge stables for horse breeding projects trying to get the special horses--although I never got very far.

The coral reef mod was actually really shocking since the coral textures are basically identical to the current vanilla Minecraft coral plants

Saw a video awhile back where someone played the Better Than Wolves mod. He called it the hardest Minecraft mod ever in the video title. Getting a workbench/crafting table was very difficult and took an incredibly long time. He said he might make a series if people liked the video, so I'll have to check if it came to pass. Anyway, I like to say that it's amazing what you can do when fueled by spite. The creator of Better Than Wolves took this idea and ran with it for a game ending touchdown.

The Legend of Notch deserves it's own entry since the mod is quite gigantic and very story driven.. it's a giant RPG mod with sidequests, skills, special abilities and more. The "game" was gigantic for it's time. Reminds me a lot of old zelda games because you have 4 dungeons.

There is no fucking way someone else actually remembers and likes the Moon mod !!!!!! The fact they used cheese for the portal will always be stuck in my head ! Holy crap Creeps and weirdos! I remember watching Pbat(PaperbatVG on YT) playing with this mod and I loved it. It's so creative. Awesome video Ryan glad to see ya getting back into it !

Shape Shifter Z was one of the first mods I ever installed. I'd almost completely forgotten about it. It was super fun to mess around with.

Loved the spider queen mod, and it was the mod that got me into Minecraft when I was young. I thought that the spider queen mod was a core Minecraft feature. (I don't think I knew what "Mod" meant.)

Great video! as well forgot to mention that I remember using SDK's Gun mod, Creeps n Weirdos. The only ones I remember growing up with old mods was the SCPcraft and CreepypastaCraft which was created by Phuck_Yu_Too, Weeping Angels by a_dizzle and Clay Soldiers by KodaichiZero. Aswell as Biosphere by Risugami. Really great mods tbh.

i dont know if they're still being updated but I had an obsession with tornado mods when I was a squeaker. I remembered Creeps N Weirdos, Shape Shifter Z, Zeppelin & The Moon.

Im so glad you presented more creep’s and weirdos, i hadn’t forgotten about but I couldn’t find any hints as to what it was called anywhere. So thanks!

More Creeps n Weirdos brings back a memory I forgot I had. There used to be a video that stayed on my feed 24/7 for weeks back in 2012. It featured that mod. If I ever find that video again I will be happy.

One of the first RU-vid series I really fell in love with was a modded Minecraft series by a guy called leptir1. One of the big mods he used early on in that series was more creeps n weirdos, and I was so happy to see you cover it here

I don't know how underrated or well rated it was but I miss the Tale of Kingdoms mod. I specifically remember a youtuber (no memory of the name sadly) who did a tale of kingdoms/spider queen hybrid series that was weird and goofy as hell. I still remember being satisfied any time someone would pick up tons of coins in TOK . Good times.

Woah, I love that you went out of your way to find mods that actually arent covered as frecuently or nostalgia milked as much, really nice video, congrats!

Seeing these again was like a part of my childhood I lost, I remember playing with all of these at some point in my first ever modpacks. Its wild seeing how many old mods have their modern equivalents and how I genuinely gravitated right back to them like nothing changed. I may be a create mod gal now but Better Than Wolves was where it all began for me

looking at that coral mod, some of the types of coral are extremely familiar. the blue coral looks almost exactly like tube coral from 1.13, and the fans look very similar to the fan corals from 1.13.

dude seeing more creeps and weirdos just put such a huge smile on my face, i had totally forgotten about that mod when i used to love it so much!! great video as always :-D love your content

Kinda hard to forget treecapitator given how universal it was.

Wow, never expected to see Shape Shifter Z here. Pretty sure I almost completely forgot about it until this video just brought out the memories of me spamming Ghast Fireballs onto a forest. Anyways, I have a few mods I know that have been forgotten to time that I still remember: The Metaworlds Mod: It was a mod for 1.7.10 that allows you to turn anything in your world into moveable "metaworlds" that you can fly similar to the Zepplin mod but all the blocks would still have all of their regular functionality so chests can still store items, liquids would flow as normal, and redstone would work as you would expect. You could also enlarge or shrink these metaworlds allowing for some wacky stuff like a shrunken castle or a giant grass block. The Yogscast actually featured the mod in a couple episodes of Yoglabs. You Are The Creeper Mod: It's was a mod from Beta 1.2_02 that turns you into a creeper. Hostile mobs wouldn't attack you and you could even raise an army of them to attack humans. It also had a sequel that ports it to a more modern version probably like Release 1.2.5 or 1.3.1 and added more features and something interesting to do with villagers. I'm not familar at all with it's sequel. Familars Mod: It was a mod that added a craftable book that allows you to have familars that you could unlock with XP that give you special abilities depending on the familar. The familars consisted of the usual mobs of Minecraft but there were also some from other franchises like the 1-up from Mario, The Companion Cube from Portal, Rana from the old 0.31 Indev version of Minecraft, and Chuck Noris because it was 2011. And while not a mod, there was this old website called Skydaz that hosted installers for mods. This was before Curseforge's launcher for Minecraft even existed and when you had to manually drop files directly into the Minecraft Jar File and delete the Meta-inf file.

Great video. I was a modder myself, back in 2013. These videos really bring be back to those days :)

thank you for making those videso. i stopped minecraft a short time before the "new" pvp stuff came in and hits became slower, but watching all those old mods and digging up some memories i had with them is so aweseome. thank you so much for your vids

Thank you for showing the zeppelin mod! Its still one of my favorites to this day

ryan, you should make a series were you play these mods including other ones like the aether. Great video man, you are like my beta minecraft master

Ngl, More Creeps and Weirdos has been living rent free in my head since 2012. The biggest MC youtuber from my country at the time made a series about it, and just like everything he put out, i watched religiously. It stands with Aether and Mo'Creatures as the mods that instantly send me back in time to happier days :')

I remember playing creeps and weirdos in release 1.2, and been trying to remember what it was called for years, thanks!

the beach dimension & the hamsters that wear armor are the ones that stick around in my memory haha

great hit of nostalgia, ryan. Happy holidays!

All these mods, but especially creeps and weirdos are so neat and dear to my heart!

My God! I remember loving watching RU-vidrs playing the Creeps and Weirdos Mod!! I felt a wave of nostalgia!!

Treecapitator was one of my default mods whenever I was playing modded minecraft back in the day. It's still a thing I love to have for mods.

I saw the gangster form Creeps N Weirdos and instantly got a bit of nostalgia, time to watch old playthrough vids!

One of my most memorable mods was the "Tale of Kingdoms" mod. I remember I saw people us it a lot on youtube and always wanted to use it myself

A mod I really loved watching let's plays of and eventually would play myself was the Spider Queen mod. The idea of you being a monster and raising ur army of spiders to take over the world was a very fun concept. I know it's had a few remakes but the OG still has a place in my heart.

Great video, tho could be nice to see Tale of Kingdoms mod too. People dont mention or talk about it anymore and it was by far THE BEST roleplaying mod out there back then

Finally someone remember more creeps 'n weirdos. It was, and still will be my favorite mod of all time. It even added structures and new fun mechanics. God i loved discovering things in that mod

Omg i have such strong memories of more creeps and weirdos! I don't know if a youtuber I watched might have used it a lot? But holy shit seeing the mobs takes me back

The old Zeplin mod was the best. You didn't need to sit in a damn seat to move your airships.

I've been playing with mods in minecraft since 2014 so seeing this video is incredibly nostaligiac. I started playing minecraft back in 2013, and have been keeping up with minecraft since 2011, seeing a lot of these early mod reviews wanting me to play the game especially with mods

tree capacitator was one of my essential mods i always had to have when playing modded

epic video!!! really cool to hear about all these mods i have literally never heard of because i was a sheltered console kid who had no interaction with the modded pc minecraft world lmaoo

I definitely remember mods like more creeps and weirdos and the coral reef mod, but I remember there were other mob mods I remember, there was this one old dinosaur mod that brought you to a dimension filled with them, that mod came out before the fossils and archeology excavation mod and there was also this one mod with these weird creatures, such as an upright cow and pig and some passive blaze looking mob as well, there's a few other mentions as well that not many people might know - a cookie dimension mod - a mod about a dimension full of cats - a shadow dimension mod - and maybe the original nether X mod which added nether armor before Netherite was in the game (a lot of these mods I remember is because I watched a lot of mod showcases from DanTDM when I was around 10-11 years old.)

please make a part 2! One of my favorite old mods I never really hear anyone talk about is Lycanites mobs mod!

I played a lot with the original CJB mod back then. It added a feature that took me years to finally see again: inertial compensation flight. That is, when you stop pressing the W key while fllying, you actually stop right away, unlikke the creative flight where you still go forward for a bit.

The more creeps and weirdos mod is such a fever dream to me. If not for this video, I would have gone my entire life forgetting that. Good times!

I have not forgotten about Mo’ Creeps & Weirdos, the Minecraft mod of all time. I was obsessed with that mod as a kid.

fun how better than wolves seems to slowly be sparking again as well, when you said no hand holding i think you were wrong and it actually did, well, the exact opposite of hand holding

Ah. More Creeps & Weirdos. Truly one of the founding fathers of Minecraft Mods. There really needs to be a port for more modern versions. Maybe new content too?

Thank you for that Nostalgia trip ❤

I had such a love for Red Power 2. I know there is Project red, but I really got to know RP2 and loved my giant bore machines.

Great list. As always this community is top notch. Much love. Merry Christmas and happy new Year to all. Peace be with everyone and cheers!

OMG creeps n weirdos is def the most nostalgic mod EVER i remember watching youtubers play it and it just seemed like such a fun mod to play😭

creeps and weirdos, i remember that one, that was so much fun. I really should try to not spoil myself on all the contents of a mod or modpack again.

I somehow remember all of these, Zeppelin is still my favorite mod ever.

These mods are such classics.

Never forgot about creeps and weirdos other than its name :D I hope they go through with reviving it

Damn I remember messing around with the gun mods with my friends in late 2010 and 2011. Those were the times... We had those NPC mods, gun mods, nuke mods and the zeppelin mod and some other plane mods installed and would recreate maps from Multiplayer FPS games like CoD.

Creeps n weirdos brings back so much nostalgia with paperbatVG’s Minecraft survival series

I never forgot any of these. I just never heard of them aside from better than wolf which I only heard about recently.

another great nostalgic video from ryan :) i like your videos

Useful cobble was my favorite mod thats been forgotten. Sure its op, but gave me a reason to mine all that cobblestone.

Always nice to see apreciation for Better than wolves. I've been following it and playing it on and off since it's first year and it has been a wild ride seeing it evolve from a mod that added very simple redstone blocks to do stuff with (it even added a lot of features that were later added to vanilla, like powered rails/rail buttons, light blocks and a few others) to the total comversion it is now that overhauls all the survival aspects of the game into a very hard challenge. It was sad when Flowerchild retired and removed his presence from the internet a couple of years ago, but at least the comunity is keeping the mod alive.

ok Creeps and Weirdos hits a niche of Minecraft i never knew i wanted- random creatively weird mobs that do different things i hope the fan made update and the original creator who made the mod not only makes the 1.19.2 update, but expands upon the weirdness and other mechanics, like the two robots doing attacks exclusively against their rival, or the lawyers sending you to a courtroom to sue you that’d be awesome

"Floobs for the win" -the floobs

Loved all these mods as a kid glad people remember them

Hey man! Great job with the video. It came out great! Keep it up, God bless 💪

I loved creeps and weirdos! That mod taught me how to install things to a jar.

If I remember correctly, back around 1.7.10, there was a mod that added in stuff from the Halo game series. I played with it a lot and had fond memories of building military bases with it installed. It had added in a lot of armor sets, weapons, and alien mobs, though it tended to over do it on crashed pelicans. I would be exploring a world and find a field full of like 20 pelicans just chilling and being on fire.

Omg... Better than wolves being here woke a long lost memory in my brain. I loved Better than wolves so much.

i remember more creeps and wierdos! i always enjoyed that mod as a kid but wish more people played it

I still play better than wolves, and its HUGE. It added many things to the simple minecraft of that old days and made survival fun. Maybe Mojang made the Campfire based on the mods campfire?

Thank you for this video, I was searching for the Creeps n Weirdos mod for years! Not knowing english as a child and downloading it just because it looked cool made the search so much worse, I’m glad I finally found the name of it.

Great video, honestly I miss mo creeps and weirdos, super fun But, honestly there was one mod I remember that no one else seems to and thats like, radiationcraft or something and it had a ton of materials and radioactive liquids you could craft with and stuff and unlike most radiation mods these days it didn't have power gen but laser guns or something I forget And also, the lovely grey goo mod, wish that got an update somehow..

I remember these mods and old RU-vidrs like TheWaffleGalaxy. Those were the days.

My brother and I loved More Creeps and Weirdo’s! My brother still randomly quotes many of the Killer G lines, as a fun inside joke between the two of us. Lol. I got so sad when the mod slowly stopped working on our old computer for some reason, and half the mobs wouldn’t spawn, and fighting a lawyer would crash the game when you got teleported to the jail, and when the mod eventually got left behind as Minecraft updated.

Creepes and weirdos was a classic now that I remember it, it was so goofy

Man, I really need mod content like this. It may be my research problem, but modern RU-vid just doesn't have mod showcases and videos like in good old days. Also Legend Of Notch is still my fav mod ever.

One of the most underrated mods for me would be the Formivore's City Generator Mod, they were versions going back as early as beta 1.5 and as late as 1.7.10 but its been abandoned since, I love the way it generates ruins, so much atmosphere, I wish mojang would add randomly generated ruined roads and cities to the surface but that feel true to the fantasy vibe of minecraft. Formivore's City Generator was the closest thing to that.

I know there's this one mod that was deleted but has been archived called the Shadow World mod.

That's a good video but you better make that video on better than wolves!

I remember the NetherX mod (the earlier version of NetherEX) that added magma before the Ice and Fire update, the glutton that looked similar to that one mob that appeared in this first mob vote, and the blazing charger that had an attack identical to the Hoglin.

Duuuude I absolutely loved more creeps, I TOTALLY forgot it existed til I saw this video

more creeps and weirdos! That's the mod I could never remember I had a map where I had so many mods on it, I guy stuck in a pit I trapped the G guys in

These mods seemed so advanced at the time LOL you should check out spider queen next! Or Witchery it's not *too* modern compared to the other mods on this list lol

Bro, I remember Creeps and Weirdo's....that was probably one of the first mods I ever unstalled

I'm noticing Better than Wolves is making a MASSIVE comeback lately. Tons of content creators have made videos on it that have gotten hundreds of thousands if not millions of views

More Creeps and Weirdos is one of my favourite mods ever. I miss it so much :c

I think I used Zeppelin once because it looked EXTACTLY like Archimedes airships but Archimedes airships wasn't for the old game version I wanted

LOL omg that creeps and weirdos mod looks hilarious. That frigging baby is amazing, as is the letter G.

The Zeppelin mod is actually what got me to try the game in the first place, way back. Shame there's no real modern equivalent but iirc it had some pretty major bugs.

creeps and weirdos is my favorite minecraft mod ever, i play it all the time even today

Wow, I want to see an update history for better than wolves considering it’s been updated for over a decade!
